  • Patent number: 8378498
    Abstract: A patterned adhesive layer including holes is employed to attach a coreless substrate layer to a stiffner. The patterned adhesive layer is confined to kerf regions, which are subsequently removed during singulation. Each hole in the patterned adhesive layer has an area that is greater than the area of a bottomside interconnect footprint of the coreless substrate. The patterned adhesive layer may include a permanent adhesive that is thermally curable or ultraviolet-curable. The composition of the stiffner can be tailored so that the thermal coefficient of expansion of the stiffner provides tensile stress to the coreless substrate layer at room temperature and at the bonding temperature. The tensile stress applied to the coreless substrate layer prevents or reduces warpage of the coreless substrate layer during bonding. Upon dicing, bonded stacks of a semiconductor chip and a coreless substrate can be provided without adhesive thereupon.

  • Publication number: 20120306105
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method for forming a multi-component power structure for use in electrically propelled vehicles may include constraining a parent material system between a power component and a thermal device. The parent material system may include a low temperature material having a relatively low melting point and a high temperature material having a relatively high melting point. The relatively low melting point may be less than the relatively high melting point. The parent material system can be heated to a melting temperature greater than the relatively low melting point and lower than the relatively high melting point to diffuse the low temperature material into the high temperature material. The parent material system can be solidified to form a transient liquid phase bond that is electrically and thermally conductive.

  • Patent number: 8319222
    Abstract: A connection structure comprising an adhesive composition is provided. The adhesive composition is capable of providing good adhesion strength to the polyimide surface of a flexible circuit board that is exposed on the metal wiring surface and between the traces even when the polyimide surface is relatively smooth. The adhesive composition contains a thermoplastic resin, a polyfunctional acrylate, and a radical polymerization initiator and further contains a monofunctional urethane acrylate having a urethane residue at its terminal end. The monofunctional urethane acrylate is represented by the formula (1): CH2?CR0—COO—R1—NHCOO—R2??(1) wherein R0 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, R1 is a divalent hydrocarbon group, and R2 is an optionally substituted lower alkyl group.

  • Patent number: 8314010
    Abstract: There is provided a method of removing trap levels and defects, which are caused by stress, from a single crystal silicon thin film formed by an SOI technique. First, a single crystal silicon film is formed by using a typical bonding SOI technique such as Smart-Cut or ELTRAN. Next, the single crystal silicon thin film is patterned to form an island-like silicon layer, and then, a thermal oxidation treatment is carried out in an oxidizing atmosphere containing a halogen element, so that an island-like silicon layer in which the trap levels and the defects are removed is obtained.
